We need your help!

Hi all Juniors! We need you to come forward with your ideas for what you want to see on the Junior Page .. it's up to you! There is a brilliant opportunity for some of you to get involved with helping create and maintain this part of the website ..

As a starter, have a word with Sarah or speak to Megan Jones or Daniel Mole

Child Protection

We want you to feel completely safe in and around the Tennis Club - and that goes for the Club website too. We have a new Child Protection Officer...and she is Pip Jones - Megan's mum.

Lots of you know her because she is often in the Clubhouse helping out. If you have ANY concerns about how you are being treated by anyone else in the Club - adult or junior - make contact straight away with Pip. She will listen to what you say .. and if something needs dealing with, she will deal with it! You can contact Pip in person at the Clubhouse or phone her on 01476 594320 or mobile 0790 3354737 or e-mail: rpmcajones@ntlworld.com
